Otherwise, no, it's quite useless as far as electronics design (e.g. putting bits together to do something) is concerned. Physics and maths is essential & so is being able to apply it to the models created for electronic parts & circuits. You really don't need to know if there's arsenic, boron in the silicon, but you may care that there's P-type or N-type doping, etc.
This guy is just starting out & hasn't stated what 'deep into electronics' is to him.
I agree that a basic understanding in Chemistry is needed for any well-rounded engineer, in electronics or any other discipline.
If you want to learn only those things that are absolutely essential to your craft then you can become a good technician, but not a good engineer. In my opinion, a good engineer needs a well rounded education. There are many things I learned in school that I've never applied in my engineering job, but that doesn't mean I think it was worthless or unnecessary to have studied them. I think a basic knowledge of physics and chemistry, among other disciplines, is needed for a good engineering education. But that's just my two cents.But it's completely pointless for electronics - perhaps someone would care to give an example where it might be useful in practical electronics?. I did Chemistry at school anyway, so have a reasonable knowledge - and my daughter is currently doing a Masters Chemistry Degree at University - but I've never found any occasion in electronics where my Chemistry knowledge came in useful.
hi augy83,
when i say deep then , i mean, full time completely deep, like in and out tracsparent, full crazy.
se i am not any engineering, but from last 8yrs working on java ,& now got new craze/ to know all about electronics atleast every thing about it, whatever will come in my way i will learn.
thanks
sid

I'm an old analogicer but I completely agree with you. You want to do as much as possible in the digital domain, and the more powerful the µCs gets the more you can easily do digital. You still may need some analog to get the signal into the digital domain but that should be as minimum as reasonable. The ideal is you hook the antenna/sensor up to an A/D converter and go digital from there.I think if you had "spare study time" after your electronics study then consider putting that into microcontrollers.
These days instead of using a few chips and lots of transistors etc you can often just reach for one microcontroller and write some software for it. And that is going to continue as the micros get faster and cheaper and have so many more special features inside.
I don't want to insult any electronics old timers, but these days if you have good elec and micro skills you are much more powerful and capable than just being good at the electronic side.
